It's year one. Barnes upgrade, back up Center, another bench piece take them from playoffs to contender.

Disappointing 2nd half. Down Huerter and playing 5 games in 7 nights on a back to back. I'm not concerned.

Fifth game in seven nights through all four timezones. I don't think it's possible to have more brutal scheduling at this stage in the season.

Wrap it up, get some rest and be ready for Phoenix on Friday.

Tough loss and didn't play well in the 2nd half. A let down game was due, but didn't expect it to be across two games (1st half Utah/2nd half Bos) and two losses.
3 big points
1 - The Kings need to be far more aggressive on D. Boston got the benefit of the call A LOT.
2 - When Huerter isn't there it takes a lot out of the offense. ie Sabonis DHO (surely TD should have been licking his lips - just have a convo with Dom dude and he will tell you what to do.
3 - Stop collapsing so far into the key on D. Giving up wide-open 3s isn't a good strategy.
